The poem addresses the West Wind, asking it to inspire the speaker and spread his words like leaves carried by the wind. Over five sections, the speaker describes the West Wind's power over nature, likening it to a divine force that brings both destruction and renewal. The speaker pleads with the wind to lift him from his struggles, to make him a instrument of its message, and to use his words to foretell a new beginning when winter ends.
